thinkeys VS pulseeffects-presets

Only other one I'm aware of is ThinKeys, mechanical replacement for the keyboard in some thinkpad versions. Though it uses kailh X switches which are notoriously very bad, still cool to see.

The only thing I would love to see is a keyboard mod for something ergonomic. Something like the ThinKeys project, or the pineapple60 project. I'm not sure if I have the time, but maybe I could try my hand at prototyping something, if Framework has the relevant specs open-sourced and documented somewhere?

I know there's been some other drop-in lenovo ergo keyboard efforts like https://modulo.industries/ (see their reddit post in https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/n8ouqi/ic_thinkeys_13_split_ortho_with_trackpoint_for/ ) - was tempted to go this route at one point but heard some concerns about the reliability of kailh x switches.

You may be interested in the ThinkKeys project. Other than that as someone else has commented kail choc switches and a DIY kit like splitkb.com kyria gets you pretty close, but you'll also be getting linear plus columnar stagger which is better, but will differ from your thinkpad. Kail choc red feel pretty good to me and I also like my thinkpad switches. There's also kail low profile butterfly switches which are truly laptop switches but I've never seen anyone actually use them in a DIY build.

I've been dreaming for an ortho laptop with a trackpoint for quite some time now, and I only know of the thinkeys (github) as a similar project. You might be interested in how he integrated a trackpoint in his design!

They will stay unchanged. It is easier right now to get a semi-decent 720p webcam than a good 2MP cam. Also, give Pulseeffects a try, we have already set up an audio profile for the Pulse 15. Using that, the Pulse already has one of the better speakers in our portfolio. The profile is not perfect, since it can lead to slight distortions on certain frequencies, like any equalizer-setting it is not suited for everything, but it will boost the lower frequency and enhance stereo separation. If you experience audible "vibrations" through the case, feel free to untighten the bottom cover screws very slightly in the speaker area. If they are too tight, it will vibrate audibly more.

You can try something with PulseEffects but I couldn't find a very good combination. There is a git repository from Tuxedo: https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/pulseeffects-presets . In addition, you can enable "Convolver" and import one of these IRS (Impulse Response) files: https://github.com/eedeidk/PulseAudio-IRSs/tree/master/IRS . Share your results if you find a good one.

A suggested trick is to install PulseEffects but it does not add any significant improvement with the given settings.

Note: This may be useful to combine with https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/pulseeffects-presets/ if you can find a good configuration for your laptop speakers.

u/_Loxley Do you mean speakers with more bass or at a different position? Have you tried PulseEffects? https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/pulseeffects-presets There is no preset yet for the Pro 14 v6. But you should be able to get a more clear and louder sound after some tweaking.

we released a sound profile for it on our Github page
